PCR 200 Trap - zinc coated and stainless in plastic box

The PCR 200 zinc coated with a stainless trigger plate is located in a plastic box (for infomation on the box see the Trappers Box sold separately on this site). This trap is one of the most popular ways of controlling stoats and rats in native forests and conservation areas. The plastic box minimises the capture of non-target animals such as native birds.

The PCR 200 trap is a good quality copy of the DOC 200 trap that was designed by the Department of Conservation for killing stoats and rats. The Department of Conservation developed the DOC 200 trap "for the benefit of all New Zealanders with the ultimate aim of protecting and retaining the last remnants of New Zealand's unique living taonga". They developed the trap because the industry needed a trap that humanely kills stoats. Previously the Department of Conservation used the Fenn Mk4 and Mk6 traps which were found to be to be inhumane (click on the following link for more information) http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/plants-animals-fungi/animals/vertebrate-pests/traps/target-species.

The PCR 200 has been tested by Landcare Research NZ Ltd which found that "It can therefore be concluded that the PCR 200 traps should kill appropriate target species as effectively as the DOC 200 traps (given both traps have identical dimensions). and that "These results therefore indicate that the PCR 200 trap should be expected to have an equivalent performance to the DOC 200 traps both in terms of killing and capture performance".

It is made of zinc coated steel with a stainless steel trigger plate.

PCR 200 Trap - zinc coated and stainless steel

Very pleased with service buying these 3 traps from contacting by phone to staff to purchasing online through shop. Good price for the traps for our homemade boxes. Caught rats that night so happy.

Normally it would not matter but in this case our one and only Doc 200 trap wasn't enough to catch the amount of vermin during the night. The wait for just take over a week from purchase to rural delivery from Sth to Nth Island for this impatient one was maybe a bit long. Its catch up time now for those rats then for the Mustelids.

Predator Trap

Well thought out and constructed trap, helpful video, and prompt service. Haven't tried it yet, but very happy with the service and the product so far!

I ordered cable ties on this website. The product is strong, reliable and fast delivered. It is also as described except for product's color which was different than expected (black on the picture, I received blue ones). Thank you
